Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 170C (340F) and line a 10x10cm tin with baking paper leaving an overhang on two sides.
2
Blend the low-fat cottage cheese until completely smooth, about 30 seconds, to remove any curd texture.
3
Whisk the egg white, honey and blended cottage cheese together in a bowl until fully combined.
4
Stir in the oat flour, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder and salt until a thick batter forms.
5
Fold in the chopped dates, apricots, raisins and walnuts until evenly distributed through the batter.
6
Spread the mixture into the lined tin in an even layer, pressing gently into the corners.
7
Bake for 20-22 minutes until the top is set and springs back lightly when pressed, and edges just pull from the tin sides.
8
Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then lift out onto a wire rack using the paper overhang and cool completely.
9
Slice into one square and store or serve.
